Never had a problem, suddenly the computer doesn't start at the specified time daily. Checked the BIOS and it's still set right. I'm not aware of having made any changes that might affect this, not that I can imagine what might cause this. The system still goes into Suspend easily, wakes OK. What might the problem be?

Update your BIOS and see what happens.

I could look for a more recent BIOS and flash it, but that doesn't explain why it would suddenly stop working. What I was thinking was:

1. Revert to BIOS defaults and see if it starts working again (I haven't made a lot of changes, really, almost nothing).

2. Do the BIOS reset thing, you know, the jumper they always have on the board to reset the mobo. I guess that does something different from doing the reset from within the BIOS... 😕

Edit: Checking I see I'm already running the last BIOS, F14. That's required for proper functioning with my CPU according to Gigabyte's online info.
